While the Bluefaced Leicester
breed has very limited numbers here in North America, the breed is widespread in
the United Kingdom. There are definite differences between the UK Bluefaced Leicester and the
original domestic US Bluefaced
Leicester (and those imported from Nova Scotia), and I feel that US breeders
should strive to produce animals which are as much like the UK counterparts as possible.
By utilizing frozen semen collected from top quality UK rams, US breeders
can make tremendous improvements in the quality of the BFL lambs we produce.
